PX360 - Pelican 360 Laptop

Post by zenloc » Tue Jun 22, 2010 3:00 pm

Screen is a 18,5" Phillips LED monitor. 360 is connected via VGA as this screen didn't support dvi/hdmi. Resolution is 720p. Sound amp is a Phillips speaker set. Console is american thus it only powers of 110v. It is also modified to play backup's. Your are still able to go on Live with the 360 as it has stealth firmware (you all know how long that lasts :lol: ) For the rest I explain the features in the video.

Nice, but hows it 720p? AFAIK VGA does NOT carry 720p. Only 480p.

Looks good.

@HDC
VGA does 2560x1600, if you're so inclined.

Love it! And it's in a rugged case too. Strong enough to take a bullet!
I have nothing clever to say here. Sorry.

I was doing 1680*1050 on my monitor with VGA. Computers haven't used a resolution that small for around 20 years.

No, VGA, doesn't do DIGITAL 720p. It's an analog signal (compared to a digital one for DVI and HDMI), but that doesn't mean it can't put out a high resolution image.

It won't do digital 720p, but it will do analog 720p (VGA has been pretty much exclusively progressive scan for the last 30 or so years). A digital signal is usually better for an LCD type display, but if you're displaying on a CRT, which is analog, VGA looks decent and is usually your only option.

Thnx :mrgreen: sorry to here it rrod on ya :( I used a Japer board just to be sure. Older boards are too risky to use in a case like this. You would need ultimate cooling or something :P Or extra heatsinking....

I saw a couple of your vid's it's looking sweet so far. Hopefully you'll be able to get it done.
